These first two chapters were so pack-full of information and citations and concepts and ideas and terms and ....whew I could go on. The most prevalent topic in the two chapters was digital/online rhetorics role and affect on the last two presidential/political campaigns. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all about the concept of rhetoric in online spaces, social meda/networking and technology...but NOT politics, although there were some good terms to digest and that the political situations made excellent examples of. As you heard in class today, I was hoping to analyze Jodi Dean's work, but was unable to attain the article (I'm getting it now though!) but I did look into Clay Shirky, which was equally as interesting. Having already discussed his concepts with you, I'm going to share with you ladies the notes I took on these chapters, or at least on the terms that stood out to me.
